26 Best Steakhouses in San Diego

“Lovely staff and delicious food“

“The skirt steak will make you cry. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“One of the most unique experiences in San Diego.“

“Everything was really good! Starting with seating, the tables were nice and had plenty of space. I really appreciate that they let us chose a 4-top table so we could have more space (there were only 2 of us). We got the rolls and Crudo to start. The Crudo was good, but the rolls were great. For the main course were got the Denver steak, lobster, asparagus, and potatoes au gratin. All of if was really good. The steak was the highlight. It was cooked perfect and tasted amazing. No sauce needed. Overall I recommend eating here. All Trust restaurants are pretty good, but this one is the best in my opinion.“

“This place was definitely a 10/10?✨“

“Great food and very nice atmosphere“

“Went for my birthday lunch and Seasons 52 made me feel special from the moment we walked in! It was just me and my mom with no reservation and London went above and beyond. Great atmosphere! We had the mahi tacos which were perfectly delicious. Thank you so much London for making this impromptu lunch feel so special!“

“Had lunch with my sister. Great food and portions. Kyle our waiter was friendly and attentive.“

“Incredible experience here with Ruth’s Chris. From the friendly hosts to the great service from our server Leo and the server assistant Ashlynn. The food was exceptional and our steaks perfectly done. Couldn’t have asked for a better night.“

“BEST STEAK I EVER HAD SERVICE WAS ON POINT THINKING BOUT MAKING PLANS FOR THIS WEEKEND BEEN AT WORK THINKING BOIT THAT NY STRIP STEAK ALL DAY!“

“Carvers Rancho Bernardo is about old values and quality! We, Realtors, give a very high rating, all around, especially to the friendly and professional Staff. Unfortunately, We can not say the same for Manager. It’s obvious, he needs to learn some culture and manners from the Staff Members. We just recently heard, he verbally hurt a number of loyal Carvers’ customers, including few of us, with his dishonest and rude behavior…for no reasons, at all. To make it worse: He walks away, and does not allow the smallest comment. Mr. Manager, while you were in the first grade, we, the old Patrons created the “Desired Image” of Carvers, by our frequent attendance and positive word of mouth among Newcomers!“

“Delicious food. Soothing ambiance. EXCELLENT service. The food was amazing. 100% in my top 5 restaurants now. Our server Wendy is so naturally gifted in her manner of service. Great recommendations, incredibly friendly, and just the sweetest. The skirt steak was perfect, and the Ajuri Half Chicken was immaculate. The broth it came in was so good I dunked everything in it!

Update: same great service, same great meals. Wendy was again amazing at her service. Thank you!“

“First off, the interior of Piedra Santa is stunning! So many details, and textures to take in. They play a mix of modern electronic chill music so we immediately felt at home. Mostly booths and chairs, all the seating was quite plush for a long meandering dinner with your date(s).

What also struck me was just how genuinely friendly everyone we interacted with was. While drinks were a little slow coming, and towards the end service wasn't quite as timely, overall Isai did an excellent job of taking care of us.

Food was superb! Their menu has so much deliciousness it was so difficult to choose! We started out with their warm sourdough with a black truffle butter candle. Very quirky but also delicious. It paired so well with their outstanding beef tartare which came with a bone marrow gravy, delicious. Additionally we couldn't resist an order of empanadas. Pork, chicken and beef, while all tasty, the beef had me falling in love.

Continuing our next course, we shared the tuna crudo. While beautifully presented, the amount and strength of the sauce almost overwhelmed the delicate flavor of the fish. Almost. Wedge salad was solid as well as their charred Caesar.

For dinner I had their filet special. A filet mignon cooked to a perfect medium rare, topped with two tender seared jumbo sea scallops, then a pile of French fried onions and a rich and creamy mushroom sauce. What a gorgeous dish that hit all the right notes, so indulgent.

Some honorable mentions; don't sleep on the beef cheek atop a creamy pool of cauliflower puree. Deep, rich beefy flavor, could have made this an entree. A close second was their pappardelle wagyu ragu, simply prepared but oh-so decadent.

With style, service and excellent cookery I'm smitten! Very much looking forward to returning for some time with their happy hour menu! Piedra Santa!“

“Erica was the best server I’ve ever had (and the sea bass was fantastic)“

“My husband & I celebrated my birthday & our wedding anniversary there while vacationing in San Diego. Our 1st time dining @ a Morton's. The service was great & so was our meal. The steaks & lobster were cooked to perfection. An awesome waitress Annette!! Great dessert! I would definitely return. I highly recommend!!“

“Service, food, ambiance are perfect for date night. Also, no issues with bringing a service animal“

“Lilya ur bartender she’s amazing“

“I understand it varies, but we were in the dining room with only four other tables present. Server was very professional and helpful in providing an understanding of the site, history, volume of tourists, etc. Food and drink were very good. Price was right, $49 for a three course meal. We enjoyed our time there last night.“

“I came here with my son for dinner. This location was on point. The server was kind and attentive. Host welcoming. They sat us right away. The place was clean. I ordered steak kebabs and shrimp pasta. I was skeptical about the pasta but it was really delicious. My son ordered ribeye medium rare. They cooked it to perfection. The Mac and cheese it came with was really good. My son said one the best he had in a steak house. Keep up the good work. We will be back.“

“I took my girlfriend out for dinner for her birthday the other day, and we were both thrilled with the service, food, and atmosphere. We loved the fried cheesecake for her. The thoughtfulness and care were great, including the drink selection. I highly recommend the Smoked from the Crypt (an Old Fashion); the flavor was great! Thank you for a memorable moment!“

“Good food and fast service. Fair prices and expert help.“

“Absolutely amazing food and drinks at great prices. Never disappointed.“

“Armand, Sean, Lachlan, and Joshua J took such wonderful care of us! Ruth’s Chris is our favorite restaurant, and this was by far the best location we’ve ever visited. The customer service was exceptional, and their warmth and attention made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. They truly made our evening special! Between the delicious food, beautiful atmosphere, and outstanding service, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. A huge thank you to this amazing team, we can’t wait to come back!!“

“Overall excellent steak dinner“

“The service was great! In fact the owner Sarah was so friendly & graciously had a steak replaced when the first one wasn’t what one of our friends expected. Sarah was kind & professional. She was so pleasant & even brought a bottle of champagne to our table & personally served it at the end of the evening! Alex , our server did a great job as well! Thank you both for a wonderful evening & meal! ??“

“After traveling over 3K miles to San Diego, it was a huge disappointment at the North Harbor location. Ordered an expensive steak with sautéed mushrooms. The mushrooms weren't on the steak. Mentioned this to our server. She returns with a Cup of Mushrooms instead of taking the plate back to the kitchen to have the Mushrooms placed onto the steak. The other dish was served cold. Clam Chowder should've come first before the meal. The soup was Cold on top and Hot at the bottom. Needless to say that bit I ate, made me very ill. We purposely didn't eat that day just to have a memorable experience like the one I had back in the 90's at the LA Mesa location. Went to the restroom. The stalls were occupied except the Handicap one. The door latch didn't work. Couldn't close the door properly. There was No hand soap available. I usually carry a very small bottle of Dawn liquid soap in my purse just in case. That's how I washed my hands. . No water refills and, The place Ran Out of Coffee!!! Seriously? We were told that there was No More Coffee until the next morning!!! The Creamer was brought out in a Fast Food Wax Soda Cup. We were celebrating a Birthday. A slice of Chocolate Cake was dropped off at the table.. Nobody Sang Happy Birthday, Nothing!! A very Cold Ambiance, Unfriendly, felt Unwelcomed too. This is very Bad for Claim Jumper. The Staff is the first people the Customer sees and talks to. Staff Standing at the side of the Bar, Jilly Jacking while customers are trying to flag down the server, is Bad!! Too bad my uncle Anthony Ghio who was the owner of Anthony's Fish Grotto across the street from Claim Jumper, closed many years ago after Mrs. Ghio passed away. Anthony's is no longer on N. Harbor Dr. or we would've Dined there. Total bill was $145.00 Will Never Go Back!!!“
